Ah, gotcha. You were referring narrowly to the “French” comment as it relates to the practice of eating escargot.

I’m with you on that. I actually enjoy escargot but I’d find these giant cousins of their more than off-putting.

You have to slice them up small... it’s like fried clams. The resemblance to actual clams is tenuous at best.

My great-uncle used to have to eat those. While in a Japanese internment camp in the Philippines during WW II.

A big reason for going with the French snails rather than the larger African variety is that you know what they have been eating.
